Abstract
Most of the research and care in fertility focuses on women, while men's perspectives and expectations are often overlooked. To explore the experiences and expectations of men with primary infertility regarding fertility clinics and to provide implications for personalized and inclusive care. A qualitative study was conducted in Iran between November 2022 and October 2023. Thirteen men with primary infertility were interviewed in-depth using a semistructured approach. Data were analyzed using the inductive content analysis method. The central theme, "Therapy Environment: Private and Interactive," was identified. The theme comprises four categories: Effective Interaction - A Key to Therapy Success; Infertility Treatment - A Joint Effort; Personal and Stress-Free Environment - Essential for Treatment; and Treatment Plan - Vital for Successful Outcome. Study findings underscore the importance of tailored approaches to male infertility care. Health care providers should prioritize personalized, stress-free environments for male infertility patients and encourage effective communication and joint participation with partners to achieve successful outcomes. Tailored approaches and therapeutic settings should be created to cater to male patients' unique needs.
